FWIW, furries have have been ‘a thing’ since at least 1980. (just trivia: I know you’re talking about trends in your area)

You can tell it “you made that data up, do not do that”

I wish people would stop treating these tools as intelligent.

No no, this time he’s “hurting real people”.

The more suitable ones are often blocked, unfortunately.

I only ever used Proton for a few secondary email accounts (compartmentalizing between personal and online) and I started transitioning shortly before they got in the news for statements.

My main problem was that I realized that I couldn’t use email forwarding (or at least without paying for a plan, I forget), and I couldn’t manually handle it with a third-party client without paying for their bridge, so unless I wanted to have to open and log in to an old email address for the rest of my life, I basically had to pay to deprecate an email address or move to another provider without risking any future emails to the protonmail address being lost, and I wasn’t in a position where paying was an option for those addresses. Now I only register single-use throwaways on Protonmail (despite their efforts to detect and stop it).

And bought a dog.

The complaint is that they’re a leech on society, and proud of it.

It doesn’t matter if a practice is ancient and common. So is organized crime. Being old and normalized doesn’t imply it has value.

There is absolutely huge moral and ethical, and pragmatic, issues with hoarding essential resources, such as housing. Homelessness is a growing problem, and these people are gladly treating it as a money-making scheme. Society would be better if they had productive jobs instead. As a collective, landlords are responsible for systematic preventable homelessness and death. Most moral frameworks consider that very bad!

The middle class? As far as I’m concerned, the two important classes are the worker class and the owner class, and the leeches can’t survive without the host. If there are people tricked into thinking they’re a middle class above us, they’d better figure out that they’re a thousand times closer to us than to them, hopefully before our collective desperation turns to violence.

Almost tortured the lil spidey friend more than hasan.

The article does explain some of these. Look at the list of banned genres, it’s literal neo-Nazism.

Ah yes, I forgot about that (I’ve mostly been using scripting-langage web apps)

My only gripe was that it doesn’t handle (unencoded) spaces in a URL name, which is probably correct behavior but they’re in the titles of torrents on some sites, so I’d have to manually edit them each time. I ended up just using qBT.

The Zionist Regime must fall. From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free. Organize in your community to raise awareness of your country’s complicity (e.g. weapons manufacture, university/college affiliations) and organize in your workplace to use your power as a worker to sabotage the conflict, especially if you are in ports or manufacture.

I suppose “both wings of the shitbird” works too.

and suddenly what’s the time in Moscow

ah, now I get the Hexbear sidebar clock joke

Where’s the criticism against them with such vigor as your post.

It’s not needed, OP and everyone here knows they’re horrible. There’s no point in adding a redundant “death to Republicans” after every critique of the Democrats who enabled them.

On the other hand, open-source software enables one to disable or edit those blocklists with a simple patch. It’s just an extreme way of making it the default behavior, and therefore making their political statement stronger.

There might be a better way, but I’m not really concerned with this implementation.

On the topic on non-mortal cases, this CDC page says the hospitalization rate for 2025 has been 20% (30% for <5 year olds)

People are saying it is Bad News

So, uhh, you want to tell us who is saying it’s bad news?

No, but in this case, yes.

Where I live, OSHA-equivalent is often enforced by the unions before it ever goes to the government. The construction union is large and powerful enough to stop work, (allegedly) lock scabs in sheds and demand their right to health and safety, remember that their lives are at risk so they really care about it.
